So today is the last day of summer?
.
I don’t know about you but that went by in a blink of an eye 😳
.
A few things I learned this summer....

1. I am not a sit still at the cottage type girl
.
2. I am not good at “seeing how things go”
.
3. I don’t do well with living in limbo
.
4. I am not good at not knowing what the next year brings
.
I need to learn how to “chill” more! Any ideas 🤪

It’s Friday, which means...
.
Lots of food
Lots of drinks
Lots of fresh air
.
My fav snack these days are roasted chick peas...they are my new “chips”.
.
Just drain and rinse a can of chick peas, pat dry and lay on a cookie sheet with some olive oil and salt. Cook at 450 for 10 mins.... flip for another 10 - eat right out of the oven 😊
.
My new weekend drink is @remedydrinks raspberry lemonade - even though I don’t drink wine anymore doesn’t mean I don’t still love drinking everything in a wine glass 🤣
.
And I got myself new kicks to start the weekend, because since March I have put about 2.5 million steps on my old ones....and they were literally worn through 😳
.
Have a fantastic sun-filled weekend everyone ☀️

Benjamin Franklin once said, “Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” It's good advice for all of us.

11 years ago I quit smoking; when I was 40.
.
I know DISGUSTING right!
.
Even today when I see photos of me in a an album with a smoke in my hand I do a double take because it looks so unreal.
.
Every time I see someone smoking, or get a smell of it when I am walking down the street I THANK GOD that I quit when I did 😳
.
.
I am thankful that at that moment on Fathers Day 2008, something clicked - I was done, I decided I can’t do this anymore!
.
Like any addiction or habit it wasn’t JUST LIKE THAT, I tried many times, I used the patch, the gum, and ate my way through the cravings - but in the end it stuck and here I am today with PINK LUNGS smelling like a rose 🌹
.
.
Both of my parents have now had strokes, so I am going to do EVERYTHING I can to NOT follow in their footsteps.
.
.
“Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” - that goes for so many things, from quitting smoking, drinking, a job, a relationship, an unhealthy lifestyle...
.
.
Thinking of starting something? Trust me - start today you will NEVER be sorry you did. I am so incredibly proud of myself 🙏

I hate food waste 😟
.
I had a whole bunch of tomatoes, peppers and some onions in the crisper that were passed their prime so I made roasted tomato veggie soup from @fraicheliving
.
Just roughly chop veggies (I used tomatoes - mini pallets and a white onion) toss in salt and olive oil - roast 20 mins (flip once)
.
Sautée a tablespoon of garlic in a pan.... add in the roasted veggies - a handful of fresh basil (dry is fine too).
.
Add in chicken or vegetable broth (4 cups-6 cups depends on how thick you like your soup) and simmer for 30 mins. Add salt and pepper to taste and then blend with a hand immersion blender.
.
Voila - sprinkle with some cheese if you like....I used feta, some more basil and lunch is done 🙏
.
.
Creamy - without the cream 👍
